"Enchanting . . . the most surprising, confounding, & oddly insightful couple's trip in recent literary history." —Entertainment Weekly

The prize-winning, bestselling author of Gingerbread; Boy, Snow, Bird; and What Is Not Yours Is Not Yours returns with a vivid &inventive new novel about a couple forever changed by an unusual train voyage.

When Otto & Xavier Shin declare their love, an aunt gifts them a trip on a sleeper train to mark their new commitment — and to get them out of her house. Setting off with their pet mongoose, Otto & Xavier
arrive at their sleepy local train station, but quickly deduce that The Lucky Day is no ordinary locomotive. Their trip on this former tea-smuggling train has been curated beyond their wildest imaginations, complete with mysterious & welcoming touches, like ingredients for their favorite breakfast. They seem to be the only people on board, until Otto discovers a secretive woman who issues a surprising message. As further clues &questions pile up, &the trip upends everything they thought they knew, Otto & Xavier begin to see connections to their own pasts, connections that now bind them together.

A spellbinding tale from a star author, Peaces is about what it means to be seen by another person — whether it's your lover or a stranger on a train — &what happens when things you thought were firmly in the past turn out to be right beside you.
